Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cell-free DNA from dying cells recently has been discovered in human blood plasma. In experiments performed on animals and humans, we examined whether this cell-free DNA can cross the kidney barrier and be used as a diagnostic tool. METHODS: Mice received subcutaneous injections of either human Raji cells or purified (32)P-labeled DNA. DNA was isolated from urine and analyzed by measurement of...
